1952 Map of St. Charles Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

St Charles Bay serves as the central focal point of this coastal landscape, separating the Lamar Peninsula from the protected grounds of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. Surveyed in 1952 with revisions through the early 1970s, the map illustrates a complex network of bays and inlets, including Dunham Bay and the straight-cut line of the Intracoastal Waterway slicing through Bludworth Island. On the western shore, the developed pocket of Goose Island State Park contains specific landmarks such as the Star of the Sea Chapel, the historic Lamar Cem, and the notable Big Tree. The surrounding terrain transitions from the salt marshes of Blackjack Peninsula to the open waters of Aransas Bay, providing a clear view of the navigational environment and early petroleum exploration indicated by numerous well sites scattered across the peninsula.
